Ferguson and Houllier are good mates.
I didn't know Ferguson read the papers. And why does he care about the Irish team?According to French TV station Canal+, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson had mentioned the Houllier link to the French Football Federation.

In Trap we trust
laying the favourite for the new ireland manager on betfair is a great way to make money.
aldridge and burley were trading at very low prices the last time IIRC.

It is common enough in National appointments to have the candidate selected, the contract signed but won´t take up the position until 4 months time.
this is a different case lads , they wont sell out croker for those friendlies unless the manager is unveiled beforehand...
Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.
I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
I woke, and found that life was Duty.
course they will,, brazil Italy and argetnina...they will have the new coach in place by january anyway prior to the friendlies

He used to deny stuff all the time when he was at Liverpool and the following week the exact opposite would happen, so I wouldn't take much notice of that. He's the outstanding candidate among a crowd of mediocrity so I'd be happy enough with him. At least with Houllier the likes of Robbie Keane wouldn't be guaranteed to start every game following s**te performance after s**te performance. I'd expect him to whip us into shape pretty quickly.
Souness No, Aldridge No, O'Leary No No No![]()
Tets posted that Houllier was asked if he was approached by the FAI, he said no.
That means no in the same way Martin O'Neill was not approached.
has houiller contacted the fai as the mirror has said? or as some other people have said he doesnt want the job? is he in the running still?
i dont like him or his football or his record with france but he'd be better than venables
Spoke with my colleague last night who had originally told me that Houllier had got it. Houllier is gone. there seems to be a bit of confusion in the board of management in so far as they are getting tit-bits here and tit-bits there but nothing tangible. This is two days old news though I'm afraid. And not really news at that.![]()
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
shame really wanted to him get it...next fav would be haan

Is Houllier definitely out?
If he's out, at the very least he should be approached to consult.
I see Houllier is in Dundalk this week. That'll turn him off managing Ireland.
